B Returning to a book you've read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. There's a welcome familiarity,but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both,and thus the relationship.But books don't change,people do.And that's what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative. The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register.It's true,the older I get,the more I feel time has wings.But with reading,it's all about the present.It's about the now and what one contributes to the now,because reading is a give and take between author and reader.Each has to pull their own weight. There are three books I reread annually.The first,which I take to reading every spring,is Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast.Published in 1964,it's his classic memoir of 1920 s Paris.The language is almost intoxicating(令人陶醉的)，an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time.Another is Annie Dillard's Holy the Firm,her poetic 1975 ramble(about everything and nothing.The third book is Julio Cortazar's Save Twilight:Selected Poems,as if a bottle of wine remaining more and more meHow as time flows. While I tend to buy a lot of books,these three were given to me as gifts,which might add to the meaning I attach to them.But I imagine that,while money is indeed wonderful and necessary,rereading an author's work is the highest currency a reader can pay them.The best books are the ones that open further as time passes.But remember, it's you that have to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends. 24.What does the author imply in the first paragraph? A.Drinking with old friends is quite beneficial. B.Either books or us are changeable along with time. C.It is recommended to read one book over and over again. D.Rereading requires a large amount of time and money. 25.What do you know about Hemingway's A Moveable Feast? A.It's a brief account of a trip. B.It's about Hemingway's life as a young man. C.It's a record of a historic event. D.It's about Hemingway's friends in Paris. 26.How do you understand "rereading an author's work is the highest eurrency a reader can pay them"in the last paragraph? A.Rereading can help readers pay their debts. B.Rereading will bring satisfaction to authors. C.The more one reads,the richer he will be. D.Readers should pay money to reread.beoks. 英语试题（雅礼版）第4页（共10页） 27.What is the best title for the passage? A.Three Masterpieces I Reread Annually B.Effective Approaches to Rereading Books C.Author and Reader Pull Their Own Weight D.Rereading Does Matter to Personal Growth C As trees turn gold and red in autumn,scientists are debating exactly what those colors are for.For decades,textbooks claimed that autumn colors were just a byproduct of dying leaves."I had always assumed that autumn leaves were waste baskets,"said ecologist Dr.David Wilkinson."That's what I was told as a student."But in recent years,scientists have recognized that autumn colors probably play an important role in the life of many trees. Dr.William Hamilton,from Oxford University,proposed that bright autumn leaves contain a message:they warn insects to leave them alone.In the fall,insects choose trees where they will lay their eggs.Then the next spring,the baby insects feed on the tree,often with damaging results.A tree can discourage these insects with poisons. Dr.Hamilton assumed that trees with strong defenses might be able to protect themselves even further by letting egg-laying insects know what was in store for their eggs.By producing brilliant autumn colors,the trees advertised their deadliness.As insects evolved to avoid the brightest leaves,natural selection favored trees that could become even brighter. The leaf-signal theory has drawn criticism,most recently from Dr.William Hoch at the University of Wisconsin,who argues that bright leaves appear on trees that have no insects to warn off.His recent work suggests that fall colors serve mainly as a sunscreen. Autumn leaves cannot capture all the sunlight striking them,and the leftover energy.can build up in the leaf and cause damage to its tissue.Anthoeyanins(that produce red and orange colors appear to protect autumn leaves by blocking some of the sunlight. "You may have a few instances where insects have some sort of relationship to color changes,"Dr.Hoch said,"but it's almost certainly not a broad-based explanation.It doesn't hold any water." These arguments have not swayed Dr.Hamilton's supporters,who argue that the leaf-signal theory is still worth investigating.But both sides agree that the debate has been useful,because it has given them deeper admiration for this time of year. 28.What did Dr.Wilkinson present about autumn leaves? A.A new discovery. B.A wide-ranging debate. C.A commonly-held view. D.A theoretical assumption. 29.What is the function of bright autumn leaves according to Dr.Hamilton? A.To attract certain insects. B.To prevent trees from harm. C.To store nutrients for the future. D.To maintain ecological balance. 英语试题（雅礼版）第5页（共10页） 30.Which of the following is TRUE according to the last two paragraphs? A.Dr.Hamilton's supporters ignore Dr.Hoch's criticism completely. B Dr.Hoch's work rules out other functions of fall colors except as a sunscreen. C Both sides of the debate have had a better understanding of the functions of colors. D.The lack of a connection between bright leaves and insect warning is evidence for Dr.Hoch's criticism. 31.What is the main idea of the text? A.The sun's hot touch can burn tree leaves. B.Mother nature favors the most colorful leaves. C.Autumn leaves are just nature's waste baskets. D.Those brilliant fall outfits may be saving trees. 0 Dreams have fascinated people for years,yet we struggle to understand their purpose.Some theories suggest dreams help us deal with emotions,solve problems or manage hidden desires.Others suggest they clean up brain waste or make memories stronger. David Eagleman,a neuroscientist at Stanford University,suggests another theory. It takes into account that the human brain has an ability called neuroplasticity(神经可塑 )-certain areas are able to take on new tasks.He argues the brain distributes its resources by "carrying out a do-or-die competition"for brain territory where sensory areas "gain or lose neural territory when inputs slow,stop or shift"."For example, people who lose sight or hearing show heightened sensitivity in the remaining senses," says Eagleman. When we sleep,we can smell,hear and feel,but visual information is absent- except during rapid eye movement(REM)sleep.About 90 minutes after falling sleep, we enter REM sleep.It begins when neurons in your brain stem signal the beginning of two important tasks.Activity of these neurons,for one,paralyze motor nerves, hampering the sleeper's acting out what is happening in the dream.Also,they send messages directly to the visual cortex(),which starts the dreaming process.As long as the neurons in the visual cortex are actively performing their job,they won't be taken over by nearby neurons that process other sensory information.Dreams are the brain's way of fighting the takeover from other senses. Eagleman argues that the more plastic the brain is,the more necessary REM sleep is for performing a defense.For babies to develop properly,they must sleep a lot, spending almost 50 percent of their time in REM sleep.But as people age,their brains become less flexible.At the same time,adults spend less time on REM sleep. Deirdre Leigh Barrett,a psychologist at Harvard University,says,"Eagleman's theory is very convincing.However,some dream researchers have different views. They think although the blind mole rat does not see,it still experiences REM sleep.Yet some evolutionary adaptations are features that were useful in the past but have become less significant as animals have evolved.So perhaps there was no pressure for blind mole rats to lose REM activity as they evolved without vision. 英语试题（雅礼版）第6页（共10页） 32.Why does Eagleman mention the example in paragraph 2? A.To show the brain is highly adaptive. B.To prove the neurons can repair themselves. C To-explain the significance of the five senses. D.To illustrate the unevenness of the brain resource. 33.What does the underlined word“hampering”in paragraph3mean？ A.Conducting.B.Preventing.C.Spotting. D.Stimulating 34.What can be inferred from Eagleman's statements in paragraph 4? A.Brain plasticity increases as people get older. B.REM sleep and brain plasticity are interrelated. C.Adults need more sleep to keep fit than babies. D.People's aging process has little effect on REM sleep. 35.What do some dream researchers think of Eagleman's theory? A.It lacks credibility. B.Its theoretical basis is novel. C.Its application is limited. D.It agrees with evolutionary laws. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 The California road trip down Highway 1 is iconic.36 It's a dream trip for people who like to drive cars.So when I was offered the opportunity to do that trip in an electric vehicle(EV)-sort of reimagining that classic road trip without oontributing to elimate change-I decided to give it a try. I picked up my electric car,a Tesla,at San Francisco International Airport.I was worried that it would have a steep learning curve,but it was really like any other car. 37 However,it took me less than 30 minutes to adjust to all these things.The ride itself was smooth,and it felt the same as driving a traditional car.It had so much power and that surprised me.It can go very fast,very quickly,even on the steep hills the region is known for. My biggest concern at the beginning of this EV road trip was running out of battery life in the middle of nowhere.38 I had no idea how advanced the infrastructure for EVs would be on my route.Before I left,I just checked Google Maps for charging stations and a couple of forums to make sure an all-EV road trip was possible,at least in theory. When I picked up the car,it said I could go more than 250 miles on one charge. 39 I'd also heard that some electric cars use a lot of electricity if yeu turn on the heat,but I never turned on the heat because it was the perfect temperature during my trip. Beyond the ease and convenience of ecotourism,it felt good to be driving an EV in this area too.Not that EVs don't pollute at all,but it was a good feeling to not be doing the opposite of what I should do in that beautiful landscape.You've got a silent car,you don't disturb the animals,and you don't pollute the air.40 英语试题（雅礼版）第7页（共10页） A.I never tested that on the trip. B.I didn't like eco-friendly cars at all. C.I'm not the fastest guy with electronics. D.Almost everyone knows about that route. E.It's a lot more eco-friendly than a normal car. F.I had never driven an eco-friendly car before. G.The route is well-known for its rough conditions. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳 选项。 An elderly carpenter was ready to retire.He 41 his employer-contractor of his intentions to leave the house-building business to live a more 42 life with his wife and enjoy his extended family.He would 43 the paycheck each week,but he acknowledged that they could 44 without it.The contractor,sad to lose a(n)45 worker,asked him to build one last house as a personal 46.

For several years I'd witness this mysterious Vest Lady-rain or shine-on my way to school.I had thought she was crazy for picking up rubbish.Eventually I smiled and waved at her each time I saw her.Later,I moved to high school.The time I saw rubbish here and there I felt really annoyed.Then I'd think,"Why isn't anyone picking up this rubbish?People are so inconsiderate!"However,shortly after,I realized picking up the rubbish was not someone else's problem. Now I couldn't walk past litter without feeling guilty.I volunteered to clean up rubbish around our school.Strange as it might sound,picking up litter was kind of a thrill for me!In fact,I was so determined that for my 17th birthday I bought myself a rubbish claw,reusable gloves and a reflective safety yellow vest with my own name on it. During my first attempt in my stylish equipment,I met with unfriendly looks from others as if I were a criminal doing community service.One day,I had an epiphany( 悟)：“T'm acting just like Vest Lady!” But there was too much rubbish around,cigarette ends littered about,cans rolling on the street,pieces of paper hidden in the grass and plastic.Working alone was too weak!How would I get more volunteers involved in rubbish removal?A smart idea flashed into my mind. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Soon I created my website gopickingup.com.
